Remember darlings, "Life's a banquet, and most suckers are starving to death." That tag line sums up this exuberant and immensely amusing 1958 comedy that can be seen repeatedly, as it never grows stale. Rosalind Russell plays the flamboyant aunt who takes in poor, orphaned Patrick, played with sophisticated ease by Jan Handzlik. Mame, all glitter and martinis, raises her nephew in a world filled with acceptance and her oddball literati friends. Nothing is too bohemian. This unfolds in colorful episodic segments that allow us to watch Patrick grow as Mame oversees his unusual upbringing while she juggles a few spouses and an extended household. Russell, who created the title role for the stage, simply shines. She is bright and brassy, but never goes too far over the top. Peggy Cass is a comedic delight as her befuddled secretary, and Coral Browne brings class to the production as her best friend. This was based on the exuberant stage play, which in turn was based on Patrick Dennis's humorous, bittersweet novel. The screen version was written by the clever duo of Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Not to be confused with the pathetically lackluster musical version starring Lucille Ball (1974), simply entitled Mame. --Rochelle O'Gorman

- The true Auntie Mame! Mame Dennis takes her orphaned nephew on the ride of a lifetime in this often touching and always hilarious film! As the single uncle of an entire clan of (biological & non-biological) nephews & nieces, Auntie Mame is a great role model for Uncle Craigie! I try to teach my minions to "Live, Live, Live! Life's a Banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!"

- Live! Live! Live!This is one of my all-time favorite movies and a far superior movie to its musical counterpart MAME with Lucille Ball. It's a great movie for anyone who likes to veer off the mainstream. Rosalind Russell is wonderful as Auntie Mame who is always living life to the fullest no matter what difficult circumstances she may find herself in. That she is able to pass this positive attitude on to her nephew and her secretary is her great acheivement. This funny, touching movie is one I can and have watched ... Read More
